My plastic surgery was today!
I had it done by Dr. Kara in Scarborough, Ontario. He did a lower body lift with fleur de lis Tummy Tuck, muscle repair and lipo!! He is absolutely wonderful. So caring and was literally excited to transform me!!
Surgery lasted 7 hours and he removed 10lbs of skin and fat!!!
I'm doing well, haven't moved yet, so we'll see how that goes in an hour or two. Otherwise pain is good. I actually feel better then after my RNY!
Anxious to get to see something, but certainly not in a rush.
Very sleepy, I'll update more later

April 14, 2016. The day my life changed for
the
best

Well, getting back to some routine here after Harvey. CC was spared the devastation, we had a bunch of mess (no power, tons of trees down, etc), but our neighbors, Rockport and Aransas Pass weren't spared. They're only 30 miles northeast of us so it's heartbreaking. Many members of my church are helping out over there as well. If I had someplace to put my kids, I'd be there too. School is out until Tuesday and so I haven't been able to go back to work either. It's just been a mess all around, but God is good. I'm thankful for the unity and love that is being shown and sown these days.
So, back to focusing on my WFPB way and getting my kitchen finished!!!!!! Lol. Yep, still not done. Smh🤦🏾‍♀️

i knew this thread would be frickin awesome before i even clicked on it.
*grabs popcorn -- er, i mean, unsalted almonds*

I can't believe I'm typing this! I'm so close and it doesn't feel out of reach. Sure, it might take me a few more months to get there but I don't mind. I'm thrilled with my progress. At 14 weeks out I've lost 78 pounds. Keep it up to those just starting the journey. Its not always easy but it is worth it!

Everything went really well! I am feeling pretty good for being 5 days out and am managing pain, walking, and fluids. Good luck to everyone else!

I went from a 34/36 (11/2015) to a now a 14 (09/2017), you bet I move on to new sizes when the opportunity presents itself. We worked hard to get our bodies back, no more covering it up. I'm on my work computer and can't get to my updated pictures, but this is from 04/2017, I'm smaller now. Embrace your change, we wanted this (for the best reasons).

There are a lot of factors to take into effect when determining how much you shouldve lost. I was sleeved March 31st and as of today am at 40 lb lost since being sleeved. Every time I go to the doctor they tell me I'm doing great and to keep it up. They are the ones who tell me not to compare to anyone else. Your journey is your own and you control the outcome. Have I taken a nibble of my kids pizza or burger when I shouldnt have, yes, do I drink enough Water, no. I do get my Protein in though, take my Vitamins and get about 15k steps daily. Could I push myself in exercise and lose a bit faster, probably, but I was 251 last year, am down to 190.4 today and went from a size 46 mens to a 14 woman's (I fit in my daughters jeans) and am off all medications!
Keep doing what you know you are supposed to do, and dont give up, or let anyone's words get you down or make you lose focus!

Lost 150 lbs in 10 1/2 months. Celebrated by taking my 12-year-old to Six Flags and rode EVERY roller coaster. This is the first time in HIS life I could ride the coasters with him.

I'm 9 months post op tomorrow :-)

Highest ever weight - 398
WLS program starting weight - 298.6
Surgery day weight- 265.8
Current weight - 175

From a size 26/28W pant at my highest and a 24W day of surgery to a size 10/12 pant currently and from a 4X top at my highest and a 3X day of surgery to a women's M/L & juniors XL top currently.

I'm off ALL my BP meds, off my anxiety meds and I'm no longer borderline diabetic. At 32 I was told I may not love to see 40 due to all my health issues and families history of heart/bp/cholesterol issues to being in better shape and health at 33 than I have ever been. Not too shabby for this mama of 4 :-) I am so beyond thankful and blessed to have this tool.

I'm 2 years and 9 months post sleeve. My journey has been amazing and still continues to be. Pre-surgery 315 lbs. YTD 163 lbs. I work out 3-4 days a week. Start with a warm up on the thread-mill and weight train. My diet is extremely low carbs. eggs whites and mixed, squash, spinach, and other vegetables, chicken, fish, lean steaks, occasionally Pasta with shrimp. 2 Protein Shakes per day on work out days. 1 per day on none. My goal now is to inspire others and share proof that with hard work and dedication ANYTHING can be accomplished.

Almost 11 months out...

I had NO IDEA I was that fat before the op...the before pic just popped up on my faceboook memories from last year at a family gathering.

Everything in my life has changed for the better...I am back to original me and loving it!

I tried eggs about 1 month out once i could have soft foods and they were not for me. A few nights ago, figured I'd try again and still they came right back up I am 4 1/2 months out now. I absolutely love eggs, so I will keep trying.

I am having such issues with skin. Everything is sagging. Maybe it's age, but still frustrating, and I haven't lost as much as you. (270 at my highest, now right around 160). Not quite a year yet.

The first and last love is to love yourself! Never in a million years did I ever picture myself wearing such dress. I loved it and how I felt in it. Amazing feeling to experience. When your confident in each step, it shows and it attracts so many good things.
One of the most memorable days of my life ️
 

Lookimg Amazing, keep up the great work!!

( I'm no where close to where I want to be.. Only being almost 3 months out I didn't want to post any side by sides)

I'm not here to post what's realistic I never once said in two weeks you will lose 40 pounds like I did I said what I lost, I never put a dream up there like everybody's going to lose weight like this all I did was post what happened to me. I never told anyone that they will lose weight just like I did all I can do is post about my journey I can't speak for no one else and I'm not going to. But to say someone else is "unrealistic" that's very wrong to say to anyone how can you tell somebody else what's unrealistic? how can you know what's going on within my body how can you know my drive? My hard work? My genetics? Every one is one in a billion.. Don't put me in a bunch

Youll be fine, I had some regrets the first few days, but it passes. Look at your ultimate goal/goals. Youll eat everything you ate before, just much less of it like a normal human being. Look at my picture, does it look like I regret it?
